I have a new Lemmy server (lemmy.todayyoutomorrow.me) and I’ve noticed only communities I subscribe to show up.
The idea was to have my own local instance but I don’t see how I can find new communities without using another instance first and finding those communities there and then manually adding them to mine. I have found the following two github projects:
EDIT/NEW:
Does it sound right that I will have to use some app like these to be exposed to new communities?
Thanks all!
I just started running my own instance as well and have similar concerns. Interested in what you wind up doing.

Use this. It is exactly what we both wanted!
Just a follow-up thanks for this recommendation. Working great!
